January 16, 2025MembershipGet to know a little bit more about Leon Harshenin, Professor of Music at Taylor University, who was one of the honorees at our conference this past October for 30 years of MTNA/IMTA membership and service to the piano teaching profession! 1. Educational background/degrees earned: BM and MM from the Juilliard School, DMA from the U of Michigan. 2. How/why did you choose to become a member of IMTA/MTNA? I first became a member of MTNA and MMTA as a doctoral student in Michigan. When I arrived in Indiana, it was a no-brainer to simply change my state membership to IMTA. 3. What have you personally found to be the most valuable benefits of being a member? I especially enjoy the conferences and seeing colleagues from around the state and country. Those are great opportunities to share ideas and build relationships. I have enjoyed presenting at several venues, and now enjoy seeing former students attending conferences and presenting sessions. 4. A favorite teaching memory: When a young student, with a look of astonishment, realized for the first time that C and B# were the same note! 5. Brief teaching philosophy, in 3 sentences: My best teaching happens when I myself am preparing for a performance. Teaching piano is not just correcting notes. We must help students learn the music deeply, on different levels, to free them from the notes and open up their expressive powers. 6. One teaching/studio management tip: Sight-reading, playing from the score, and memorizing music are not 3 different processes—they are one organic continuum. 7. Hobbies outside of music: Watching hockey, football, and movies; hiking in national parks; traveling in general; trying different ethnic cuisines. Thank you, Leon–and congratulations! [...]

November 2, 2021Teacher of the Year / ConferenceLinda Larson Witchie, NCTM, with a degree in Piano Performance from the University of Colorado – Boulder and a Masters in Piano Performance from University of Michigan, was President of the South Bend Area Music Teachers Association from 1997-1999 and again in 2016-2018. In 1999, she was honored as “Member of the Year” by SBAMTA. Throughout her involvement with SBAMTA, Linda has served in various capacities including President, Vice-President, Program Chair, and Treasurer, and most recently as Community Engagement Coordinator to bring music education to the forefront in the greater Michiana area. She created a link with the South Bend Symphony wherein Stickley Piano Competition Winners play in the lobby before concerts, obtained vouchers giving free symphony admission to local students, created a presence at the local Art Beat Festival, and an information booth at the Halloween festivities at the local Zoo. As a program director and advisor, she has brought in multiple grants allowing us to bring in well-known presenters and clinicians such as Randy Faber, Melody Bober, Catherine Rollin, Jane McGrath, Robert Vandall and Marvin Blickenstaff. Linda was an Adjunct faculty member at IUSB and adjunct lecturer of music at St. Mary’s College and has been instrumental in numerous festivals and recitals. She has been a member of Indiana Music Teachers Association for more than 30 years and served as State Composition Chair of that organization for two years.  Linda is a nationally certified member of Music Teachers National Association, earning her “Permanent Professional” status in October of 2007.  She was also a faculty member of the National Guild of Piano Teachers. Linda piloted new piano teaching materials for Faber & Faber of F.J.H. Publishing for more than twenty years.  She also served as both Consulting Editor and New Publication Evaluator for F.J.H. Publishing from 1992-2003. She has spent the last 25 years either chairing or on the committee for the annual Stickley Piano Competition and has been very active with the Stickley Scholarship Fund since its establishment 28 years ago. Modest and unassuming, Linda has a private studio that has consistently produced winners and honorable mentions at the annual Stickley Piano Competition every year for the past 20 years! Linda provides a steadying voice of reason, is always quick with helpful information, and is even quicker with a thank you. It is a marvel to see so much energy expended for music education across multiple decades while raising a family of her own. Her colleagues at SBAMTA find it a real pleasure to serve with Linda Witchie in the profession of music teaching. [...]
